Zach
Welch

1/27/18
5-foot-9, 140 pound switch hitter provided a level bat path with average power. Welch’s exit velocity was 76 mph which can see improvement if he generates more energy out of his lower half to drive the baseball. He made some good contact throughout his round with several line-drives, but he needs to create more separation and get into a good launch position to create some tension that will lead to a more explosive swing. Defensively, he projects as an infielder at this stage. Feet stay active and creates direction with his footwork. Short arm action with top velocity of 76 mph across the infield. In the outfield, he has a tendency to field the ball deep and slow down his momentum as he attempts to play through the baseball. Showed top velocity of 78 mph from high ¾ arm slot.
